    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell region, a peripheral circuit region, a memory block in the memory cell region, a row decoder in the peripheral circuit region, and a control circuit in the peripheral circuit region. The memory cell region includes a first metal pad. The peripheral circuit region includes a second metal pad and is vertically connected to the memory cell region by the first metal pad and the second metal pad. The memory block includes memory cells stacked in a direction intersecting a substrate, and is divided into a plurality of sub-blocks configured to be erased independently. The row decoder selects the memory block by units of a sub-block. The control circuit receives a data erase command for a selected sub-block among the plurality of sub-blocks, performs a data read operation on at least one victim sub-block among the plurality of sub-blocks in response to the data erase command, selectively performs a soft program operation on the at least one victim sub-block based on a result of the data read operation, and performs a data erase operation on the selected sub-block after the data read operation is performed and the soft program operation is selectively performed.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate including a page buffer region, a memory cell array, bitlines, first vertical conduction paths, and second vertical conduction paths. The memory cell array is formed in a memory cell region above the semiconductor substrate and includes memory cells. The bitlines extend in a column direction above the memory cell array. Each of bitlines is cut into each of first bitline segments and each of second bitline segments. The first vertical conduction paths extend in a vertical direction and penetrate a column-directional central region of the memory cell region. The first vertical conduction paths connect the first bitline segments and the page buffer region. The second vertical conduction paths extend in the vertical direction and penetrate the column-directional central region. The second vertical conduction paths connect the second bitline segments and the page buffer region.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device performs a read operation comprising first and second intervals. In the first interval the device applies a turn-on voltage to string selection lines and ground selection lines connected to the string selection transistors and the ground selection transistors, respectively. In the second interval, the device applies a turn-off voltage to unselected string selection lines and unselected ground selection lines while continuing to apply the turn-on voltage to a selected string selection line and a selected ground selection line. In both the first and second intervals, the device applies a first read voltage to a selected wordline connected to memory cells to be read by the read operation and applying a second read voltage to unselected wordlines among connected to memory cells not to be read by the read operation.
